  Great win tonight and hopefully the start of something big. I dont remember the last time the Mets ran off an 8 or 10 game winning streak, but I hope this win sparks a nice run. Quick thoughts, I’m not very impressed with Scott Hairston and if we are going to get bad at-bats than I’d rather see Harris or Duda start until Bay comes back.

  “Squidoo says:

  Beltran has been putting good swings on the ball and has hit into some rotten luck with hard hit balls including once today and twice Thursday.”"

  You called it Squidoo. Hat tip to you.

  What happens if Belran does have a monster season 35 HR-115 RBI-100 R, and Reyes too .280-15-70-120 RS- 60 SB. Do we really just let both of them walk and go?

    Going to come down to money, or lack thereof, IMO.
  • stick April 10, 2011 at 12:34 am

    beltran yes, reyes I hope not, but as SRT said, that one will be money.

    beltran goes no matter what, and it won’t be about money.

  I know Beltran is the star of the game but how about Davis and the season he has so far?

  Tonight: Ike Davis 2 for 3 1/3B 2/RBI 1/R

  Davis has an rbi in 7 of the 8 games he has played so far and leads the team with 9 rbi’s. When you think that he was hitting coming into today .222/RISP you have to hope that he can improve on that as well.

  Don’t look past Thole so far either who was only leading the team in albeit a very early part of the season in batting as the day began with a .368/BA.

  Very early in season but it’s good to see to of the kids at least get off to a good start.

  Lets Go Mets!!!

    Ike has been hitting a ton so far. But his defense on cutoffs and running (interference call) tonight shows he still needs more experience to get to the next level. He ain’t there yet. Arguing with Terry in the dugout after the interference shows he is still a bit stubborn. Hopefully he’ll straighten it out this season.
    • JerryG15 April 10, 2011 at 8:23 am

      April 9th – not even two full weeks of games. You are going to bring up that cutoff every time until the end of the year, and sure bad running tonight.

      He is there, he is very good at 1b whether you see it or now and you are just picking flypoop in a haystack, you’ve been killing the kid since he got here. Every player will make a mistake here and there.

      Where you actually in that dugout and heard word for word what was said?

      Stop with the Ike digs already.
      • t agee April 10, 2011 at 9:43 am

        Jeez Jerry, the bad cutoff just occurred three freakin days ago and your already wondering if he’ll bring it up every day for the rest of the year? Really? The chimp brings up Wright and the 2007 and 2008 pennant race almost everyday and those were 2-3 years ago. Besides it’s not the first cutoff he hasn’t played correctly. I’ve seen him cut it when he should let it go or let it go when he should cut it.

        He played RF and was a closer in college. He still has a few things to learn before the HOF.

          The guy finds anything to complain about one of the bright spots on this team over and over, not the first time.
    • Donal April 10, 2011 at 9:07 am

      The interference call wasn’t his fault. What was he supposed to do, stop running and until the SS picked up the ball? He didn’t see Desmond stepping into his path.
• Annie Savoy April 9, 2011 at 11:59 pm

  What a great game – haven’t seen one like that in a long time. Let’s go Mets!!
• Jerry M April 10, 2011 at 12:02 am

  Why an=m I rerouted to anothersite when I try to get Metsmerizedonline.com I had to got to Daily Stache and click on your site there.
• Jerry M April 10, 2011 at 12:03 am

  Murph has 3 RBIs and helped the Mets again to gain the lead. Why isnt he playing more?
  • Met Maniac April 10, 2011 at 12:22 am

    Good question and I totally agree. We need to see his bat in the lineup more, but where?
  • Des April 10, 2011 at 12:23 am

    Jerry M. — He will if he keeps it up. Also, a decision was made by Terry and Sandy at the start of the season. Might it be that changing the field assignments so soon to give Murphy more playing time would mean they didn’t make the best decision?

    I expect Reese Havens to play in Binghamton when the weather warms up. He’s in PSL now. If he hits like he showed last year, he’ll skip Buffalo and be in Citi by All Star time. I’d expect Havens to be given a shot at 2B then.
    • Bayonne Mets Fan April 10, 2011 at 1:08 am

      You talk about me and you say i talk about the same things all the time – which is NOT true. Like me or not i talk about all things Mets and yes I repeat on some things because it’s the same things happening all the time for the last few years.

      But YOU. All you ever do is talk about Reese Havens and i KNOW you’re just waiting for Ike Davis to stumble. For some obscure reason you have a problem with Ike Davis, who not only as I and many said before is gonna be a real ballplayer but the God darn kid is in his 2nd year!!!!! He only came up LAST MAY of course he still has to learn things. Yes I noticed also that he seems to be a little hard headed on some matters but regardless. That kid’s a player and i know you will say “well if he…or…but he has too” And my answer is gonna be no kidding, he’s still becoming a major leaguer. Sometimes I think you have this peculiar distaste for Ike Davis because he may become the new face of the franchise over your golden boy. I’ve said that before.

      And this Reese Havens nonsense. I don’t know the kid from a hole in the wall, never saw him play, not heard anything about him outside of this site practically, and saw a couple of seconds long video clips of swinging in a cage. One clip he looked good, the other he looked bad..but IT WAS IN A CAGE!

      Whoever this kid is, sure i hope he becomes this star that you keep saying he’s gonna be but let’s separate Reality from Fiction.

      REALITY is this kid is gonna be NOWHERE near Citi Field by the All Star break. Reality is the next thing we need to see from this kid is for him to be playing every day…and he’s NOT EVEN at AAA!? That’s the next step. After that I’ll let you know what i think. But I have NOTHING to say about him until i see or hear about this kid playing everyday no matter what lever he’s at.

      FICTION is the time table you keep giving this kid here. You had him possibly making the opening day roster last winter, then it was well after opening day or whatever..now it’s the All Star Break. You see, you have to learn to separate what you “Hope” and “Wish” for…and what you think will actually happen. Learn the difference between the two.
      Do you see me harping on Rubin Tejada every single day? No. Do I wish he was here? Yes, do i still believe he’s our best defensive option? Yes. Do I think he wasn’t given a fair chance in ST? Yes. But it’s DONE. It’s OVERWITH. Maybe he will come back again but that’s not the point here

      You just continue to persist in throwing this Havens name out there…WHEN HE’S NOT DOING ANYTHING! He’s not even playing.

      Get real.
      • Bayonne Mets Fan April 10, 2011 at 1:12 am

        I also forgot to add – Have you seen this kid Havens play? Have you observed him at length? In person? If not in person than where have you seen him play be so informed about this kid in such detail? Do you have some mysterious pipeline to special access?

        I sure hope you’ve seen this kid play.
        • Des April 10, 2011 at 1:37 am

          Bayonne, you’re a nutcase. No more need be said. It’s always your way or the highway. Take a hike.
          • Bayonne Mets Fan April 10, 2011 at 1:45 am

            How am i a nutcase?

            By saying to chill out and let’s see this kid play in the minors for awhile? That’s nuts to you?

            How about answering the question – have you seen the kid play? If so where?

            Simple question.
          • JerryG15 April 10, 2011 at 8:27 am

            I disagree with Bayonne more times then none, but he is SPOT ON in this post. You are obsessed with a guy that has NEVER seen major league hitting, NEVER and you call him a nutcase? In the process pick on the best addition to this team in a long time in Davis.

            Do you own a mirror?
            • t agee April 10, 2011 at 9:25 am

              bayonne = chimp
      • Annie Savoy April 10, 2011 at 7:38 am

        Ike Davis is going to be a great player, he comes from a family of baseball players, his Dad played for the Yankees – he was a pitcher – and his Grandfather played in some minor leagues. Ike is a good guy and takes some advice from his Dad and also Terry. Yes, he’s only 23 and here he is already well disciplined at first base and doing a great job at the plate. Let him work all this out in his own way – his Dad and Terry are surely going to keep him on the right path.
